The interesting thing was that in testing it turned out that having 3D cache for all cores didn't increase performance. The sweet spot for heat/performance was for half.
Granted, I don't think I'm running anything so CPU intensive that I'll be able to tell. For gaming, I was more interested in the DDR5 memory than in worrying about the L3 cache. For everything else I do (including running LLMs and compilers) it's beyond adequate.
For a mere $20K I could have had an overall slower gaming experience but be able to locally run things like the Goliath 120B model, but that seemed like a poor trade-off.
